Republicans Dominate Democrats...in Tweeting

Our modern technological age has created a lot of new ways to communicate with others. For some, these means seem cold and impersonal. For those who use them regularly, they are simply another option for sending messages into the giant black hole of data that is the Internet.

For politicians, however, Web sites like Twitter and Facebook offer an unprecedented way to reach voters, mostly of the younger variety, and speak to issues that impact their campaigns and the country. It's no surprise that so many politicians use Twitter and Facebook regularly -- Facebook more for events and posting stories, Twitter for talking points and reactions to opponents.
